I have just worked my way through all of George Thomas' descendants and I am about to start on Frederick's children, etc. I will look out for (at least) three brothers.
Thank you both very much. I am almost there now - I have 27 out of 28 children sorted and am waiting on two death certificated for unnamed male children to find out who the missing child is.
Erik Bloodaxe - I'm fascinated to hear that you went to school with Frederick's great grandson. he would be my third 'half' cousin.
Glancare - thanks for the heads up regarding searching through the PRs for Somerset. I had found them but assumed that they were indexed! I should know better by now.
My great great grandmother remarried after the birth of my great grandmother. Two children from this marriage moved from Great Marlow in Buckinghamshire to Roadwater. According to the 1911 census they had 28 children between them. Sadly both married wives whose maiden names were Crew(e). I can separate out the living children fairly well but the eight who died before 1911 present a problem. Does anyone know if I can access the parish records of Old Cleeve (where I assume that they would have been baptised) from 1890 onwards? I should be able to sort out the two who I know were born in Great Marlow (when I get home) but still need to find baptisms for William (c 1897), Daniel and Daisy (c 1904) and one as yet unknown. I'm reasonably hopeful as Beaver is not a particularly common Somerset name.
If anyone is related to the either family I would be really happy to hear from them.
P.S. I have now found the Old Cleeve registers online and no sign of any baptisms for Beaver children. Any ideas of where I should look next?
Great result, lots for you to follow up.
Good Luck
